Hi guys , I would like to keep trap on pushed messages in my broker.

Currently I created a mosquitto_sub process that listen for all topics and send  messages to syslog daemon.

I wonder ... is there any better solution ?

Perhaps , some config directive  ...

IMO, adding functionality to the broker that is easily provided externally just makes the software potentially buggier.   Once I started running mosquitto, I added this:

[Unit]

Description=log mqtt stuff

[Service]

RestartSec=1

Restart=always

StartLimitInterval=0

WorkingDirectory=/home/dustin

ExecStart=/home/dustin/go/bin/logexec -tag mqtt /usr/bin/mosquitto_sub -v -i mqttlog -t '#'

[Install]

WantedBy=default.target

 

(logexec is a thing I wrote that I use for stuff like this)

This has been working flawlessly for a long time.
